Grace Extravaganza GUMY Help Needed!

Grace Extravaganza is a church-wide fundraiser for mission work at GUMC with dinner, silent auction and a live auction. The youth ministry receives a substantial amount of funds from our generous and kind members who come to Grace Extravaganza.

Participation in GE is required for all students who are attending a mission trip this summer. Students help set up, take down, and serve our members throughout the night as a small way of saying “thank you” to our congregation.
Even if you are not sure if you are going on a mission trip, or you are certain you are not, we still need your help!

Let Us Know You Are Coming Here

$35 for adults and $7.50 for children
